The document—which covers vehicle sales, emissions, potential partners, advanced technology vehicle availability, and other factors—offers a “snapshot” of current vehicle technologies and trends. DOE program managers use this document to plan testing and evaluation activities that focus resources where they have the greatest impact. This document is the update for 2005. To download overviews from previous years, visit www.avt.nrel.gov/overview.html. The scope of this document has changed slightly this year. The content is simplified and streamlined, eliminating discussion of energy use, which has not changed dramatically year to year, and focusing on advanced technology vehicles and associated industry trends. Up-to-date information on energy use is available from several DOE sources including: • The Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Annual Energy Review, Monthly Energy Review, and Alternatives to Traditional Transportation Fuels • Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Transportation Energy Data Book (Edition 24) • NREL’s Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC) (www.eere.energy.gov/afdc) Information on alternative fueled vehicles (AFV) is updated yearly in the Transportation Energy Data Book. Chapter 6 includes a wealth of statistics on AFVs including estimated fuel use, numbers of vehicles in use, and current models available from manufacturers. For convenience, the Appendix of this document contains several figures on AFVs and their use in the United States from EIA. Also included is a table listing the numbers of alternative fuel stations by state and fuel from the AFDC. The information on advanced technology vehicles in development came from various sources, including vehicle manufacturers and news services. Because this information changes daily, we set February 1, 2005 as the cut-off date for inclusion in this document. However, the vehicle tables are updated quarterly and posted as separate documents on the AVTA Web site at www.avt.nrel.gov/overview.html. Advanced Technology Vehicles The following sections provide a snapshot of the current market for advanced technology vehicles. The tables concentrate on the vehicles most likely to be available in the U.S. market. For a more complete listing of advanced technology vehicles around the world, refer to the companion tables at www.avt.nrel.gov/overview.html. Hybrid Electric Technology Light-Duty Vehicles Automotive manufacturers continue to work on light-duty hybrid electric technology. There are now seven different vehicle models available for sale in the United States, and plans to introduce many more are in the works. Table 1 lists light-duty hybrid vehicles in production, those planned for introduction in the next few years, and some of the more recent concept vehicles. (For more information on these and other light-duty hybrid vehicles introduced around the world, refer to the companion tables at www.avt.nrel.gov/overview.html.) 4 Table 1.

(Source: Collected by Robb Barnitt and Leslie Eudy, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, from various sources) In 2004, U.S. sales of hybrid vehicles totaled more than 86,200, a 60% increase from 2003. Sales included established models such as the Honda Civic, Honda Insight, and Toyota Prius, as well as the newcomers Ford Escape, Honda Accord, and GM Silverado and Sierra. U.S. sales of hybrid vehicles since 1999 have totaled nearly 200,000. Strong sales growth trends continue. For example, Toyota Prius 2004 sales increased

    “If you are working on a problem you can solve in your lifetime, you’re thinking too small.” Wes Jackson I have been blessed to spend time with some of our nation’s most prominent civil rights leaders— truly extraordinary people. When I listen to them tell their stories about how hard they fought to combat the issues of their day, how long it took them, and the fact that they never stopped fighting, it grounds me. Those extraordinary people worked at what they knew they would never finish in their lifetimes. I have come to understand that the historical arc of this country always bends toward progress. It doesn’t come without a fight, and it doesn’t come in a single lifetime. It is the job of each generation of leaders to run the race with truth, honor, and integrity, then hand the baton to the next generation to continue the fight. That is what our foremothers and forefathers did. It is what we must do, for we are at that moment in history yet again. We have been passed the baton, and our job is to stretch this work as far as we can and run as hard as we can, to then hand it off to the next generation because we can see their outstretched hands. This project has been deeply emotional for me. It brought me back to my youthful days in Los Angeles when I would be constantly harassed, handcuffed, searched at gunpoint - all illegal, but I don’t know that then. I can still feel the terror I felt every time I saw a police cruiser.

  • Key Barriers Affecting E-Truck Adoption, Industry and Policy Implications, and Recommendations to Move the Market Forward
    World Electric Vehicle Journal Vol. 8 - ISSN 2032-6653 - ©2016 WEVA Page WEVJ8-0657 EVS29 Symposium Montréal, Québec, Canada, June 19-22, 2016 2015 E-Truck Task Force: Key Barriers Affecting E-Truck Adoption, Industry and Policy Implications, and Recommendations to Move the Market Forward Tom Brotherton1, Alycia Gilde, Jasna Tomic 1CALSTART, 48 S Chester Ave, Pasadena, CA 91106, [email protected] Summary CALSTART’s E-Truck Task Force (ETTF) produced a report outlining the markets for electric drive trucks (E-Trucks), the prime barriers facing their success and provided key findings and recommendations to support expanding E-Truck adoption. Four key findings have been identified by the E-Truck Task Force as barriers currently affecting the growth and viability of E-Truck sales; 1) high incremental cost, 2) poor vehicle quality and support from supplier(s), 3) unexpected costs and energy planning with infrastructure, and 4) reduced operation in extreme climates. The E-Truck Task Force developed a set of action-oriented recommendations for overcoming each barrier. 1. E-Truck Task Force Background 1.1 Key Findings from 2012 E-TTF Report CALSTART’s E-Truck Task Force (E-TTF) was originally created in 2011 to help understand, support and expand the production and successful deployment and use of plug-in electric trucks and buses. CALSTART published E-Truck Task Force Findings and Recommendations in 2012 based on a year-long research and industry engagement process. In that report CALSTART outlined the best use profiles for successful E-Truck deployment, provided a business case calculator for fleets, highlighted early adopter user experience, developed an infrastructure planning guide, and then established industry recommendations of actions required to speed market success.
